Xia Sang Ju – Its ingredients and medicinal uses

Rose Chen is going to introduce a relatively new, yet very effective heat removing herbal tea - Xia Sang Ju. It is a kind of Chinese herbal drink made by soups cooked from dried leaves of Heal-all (Xia, Prunella vulgaris) and White mulberry (Sang, Morus alba), as well as a kind of dried yellow sweet chrysanthemum (Ju, Chrysanthemum indicum, 甘菊). Such a drink originated from a famous herbal-drink formula in Qing dynasty called Sang Ju drink (桑菊飲) for expelling an epidemic spread in East China in 1814. Its main traditional medicinal uses include sore eyeballs at night, dizziness, and other ailments, thanks to its amazing power in removing heat from the liver and protecting the liver. And the mass production of Xia Sang Ju, the modern version of Sang Ju drink, began in 1980 by Xingqun Pharmacy in Guangdong province.
